    Abstract We recently performed a systematic investigation of consumer preferences for black coffee versus key brewing parameters, including total dissolved solids, extraction yield, and brewing temperature (Cotter et al. in J Food Sci 86(1):194-205, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.15561 ). An experimental goal in that work was for participants to taste the coffee at a beverage temperature of 65 °C, but the large sample size of more than 3000 individual tastings, combined with natural variations in the brewing and cooling processes, meant that coffees were assessed over a normally distributed range of temperatures between 56 and 71 °C. Here we use those data to provide a more detailed analysis of the impact of beverage temperature on consumer acceptance of the coffee, with a key objective of identifying beverage temperatures at which no consumers assess the coffee either as too hot or too cold. Using a 5-point just-about-right (JAR) scale, we find that a majority of consumers (> 50%) assessed the temperature as JAR at all temperatures tested up to 70 °C. A substantial fraction of consumers, approximately 6-12%, assessed the coffee as too cold over the range 56-68 °C. Only above 70 °C did a majority of consumers assess the coffee as too hot and none assessed it as too cold, albeit with 40% still assessing it as JAR. Complementary analyses indicate that beverage temperature over this range had little impact on assessments of the adequacy of flavor intensity, acidity, and mouthfeel, but did correlate slightly with overall liking and purchase intent. Overall, the results suggest that temperatures over the range of 58-66 °C maximize consumer acceptance, and that 68-70 °C is the minimum temperature range at which no consumers will assess black coffee as too cold.

    Abstract Background: Coffee quality is believed to degrade quickly after brewing, and retail establishments discard unsold brewed coffee after a specified holding time period, sometimes as short as 30 min. We used trained sensory panels to evaluate the flavor profiles of light, medium, and dark roast coffees held in three different carafe types (glass on hot plate, thermal jacket, and vacuum insulated) for times ranging from 15 min to 3 h. Furthermore, a panel of 93 coffee-industry professionals performed a blind evaluation of fresh (30 min) versus held (180 min) coffee for overall liking and attribute level adequacy.
    Results: Sourness increased over time, consistent with acidity increasing over time (i.e., higher titratable acidity, lower pH), but only for the light and medium roasts. Dark roasted coffee became significantly more acidic over 3 h post-brew but was not perceived as more sour over time by the sensory panel. Variations were observed between the thermal jacket and vacuum carafes for the light and dark roast, but few differences were observed with storage type in the medium roast. Surprisingly, the panel of coffee industry professionals showed no preference for fresh over held.
    Conclusions: More sensory attributes decreased than increased over time, suggesting that the primary concern with loss of quality during coffee holding may be the loss of volatile aroma compounds. Hedonic ratings suggest that even if the changes over time are noticeable, they may not negatively impact overall liking. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract Globally, riverine system biodiversity is threatened by a range of stressors, spanning pollution, sedimentation, alterations to water flow, and climate change. Pesticides have been associated with population level impacts on freshwater invertebrates for acute high-level exposures, but far less is known about the chronic impact of episodic exposure to specific classes of pesticides or their mixtures. Here we employed the use of the UK Environment Agency's monitoring datasets over 40 years (covering years 1980 to 2019) to assess the impacts of AChE (acetylcholinesterase) and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor targeting pesticides on invertebrate family richness at English river sites. Concentrations of AChE and GABA pesticides toxic to freshwater invertebrates occurred (measured) across 18 of the 66 river sites assessed. For one of the three river sites (all found in the Midlands region of England) where data recorded over the past 40 years were sufficient for robust modelling studies, both AChE and GABA pesticides associated with invertebrate family richness. Here, where AChE total pesticide concentrations were classified as high, 46 of 64 invertebrate families were absent, and where GABA total pesticide concentration were classified as high, 16 of 64 invertebrate families were absent. Using a combination of field evidence and laboratory toxicity thresholds for population relevant endpoints we identify families of invertebrates most at risk in the selected English rivers to AChE and GABA pesticides. We, furthermore, provide strong evidence that the absence of the invertebrate family Polycentropodidae (caddisfly) from one field site is due to exposure effects to AChE pesticides.

    High-Loading Polymer Resins for Direct Ink Writing

    Abstract Although direct ink writing (DIW) allows the rapid fabrication of unique 3D printed objects, the resins—or “inks”—available for this technique are in short supply and often offer little functionality, leading to the development of new, custom inks. However, when creating new inks, the ability of the ink to lead to a successful print, or the “printability,” must be considered. Thus, this work examined the effect of filler composition/concentration, printing parameters, and lattice structure on the printability of new polysiloxane inks incorporating high concentrations (50–70 wt%) of metallic and ceramic fillers as well as emulsions. Results suggest that strut diameter and spacing ratio have the most influence on the printability of DIW materials and that the printability of silica- and metal-filled inks is more predictable than ceramic-filled inks. Additionally, higher filler loadings and SC geometries led to stiffer printed parts than lower loadings and FCT geometries, and metal-filled inks were more thermally stable than ceramic-filled inks. The findings in this work provide important insights into the tradeoffs associated with the development of unique and/or multifunctional DIW inks, printability, and the final material’s performance.
